WM Climate Change Action Plan

A West Midlands Climate Change Action Plan (2007 – 2010) was produced to help the Region address climate change in a coherent way. It is currently under review. A Climate Change Panel, supported by a Climate Change Office has been established to deliver the Plan. The Panel is ultimately accountable to the Regional Minister.

The West Midlands Regional Climate Change Action Plan can be found at http://www.gos.gov.uk/497745/docs/177226/394408/729384

Vision

Our Vision is of a sustainable, low carbon West Midlands, well adapted to the impacts of climate change and supported by a low carbon economy where:

  • Regional emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are significantly reduced;
  • We have identified and adapted to the likely implications of climate change for the West Midlands;
  • Quality of life and environment has been improved for people in the West Midlands, without compromising future generations;
  • The region’s economy is enhanced by increased efficiency, delivering higher productivity with lower resource use, and the existing economic base has been enabled to grow and diversify into new low-carbon product and service markets;
  • Regional partners demonstrate effective leadership, championing the climate change agenda across all sectors, communities and organisations.

There are 6 priority work areas:
